It is also used on contemporary buildings, where it protects against the wet Scottish and Ulster climates and eliminates the need for paint.

Harl
In Scottish usage, harling describes an exterior building-surfacing technique which results in a long-lasting weatherproof shield for a stone building. A pigment can be embedded in the harled material, thus obviating the need for repainting. Harling as a technique provides the surface of many Scottish castles, but it is also used for a variety of common everyday building types. Long-lasting and practical, it well suits structures in the Scottish climate.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Harl
härl, n. the skin of flax: any filamentous substance.
Harl
härl, v.t. (Scot.) to drag along the ground: to rough-cast a wall with lime.—v.i. to drag one's self: to troll for fish.—n. act of dragging: a small quantity, a scraping of anything.
Dictionary of Nautical Terms
